“Whether acting for a buyer or a seller, our lawyers provide individualized care and attention to each file from start to finish with a focus on protecting our clients’ interests leading up to, and beyond, the closing date.”
If you are the buyer, we ensure the property taxes are up to date, including a calculation of land transfer tax that is due, and that there are no claims or liens against the property. If the purchase is being financed, we will work with the lender to ensure the funds are received and paid out according to your instructions. We also work with title insurance companies to save costs and provide you with peace of mind.
If you are selling, we will work with the lawyer for the buyer to make sure that all the responsibilities and expectations are handled and met. If your home is currently mortgaged, we will communicate directly with your lender on your behalf regarding the payout and discharge. If you are selling a condo, we will assist in obtaining a status certificate if necessary. Prior to closing, we will ensure that all the documentation is understood and signed.
We have proven experience in commercial real estate transactions including zoning applications, finance agreements, leases, agreements of purchase and sale as well as other skills necessary to complete a commercial venture.
